In an unprecedented partnership, Deputy Secretary Ron Sims and U.S. Department of Energy Under Secretary Kristina Johnson recently travelled to the Bronx to visit the Weatherization Training Center of the Association for Energy Affordability, Inc. (AEA) to look at the advances being made in green technology. They were met by HUD Regional Administrator Adolfo Carri�n, Jr. AEA's innovative weatherization project provides training in energy efficient technologies, puts people back to work, and creates partnerships between the government and both public and private institutions. This project is part of a larger joint effort between HUD and DOE to weatherize low-income multifamily homes throughout the country.
